Assuming they're already set, you read them just like any other cookie. I'd suggest reading the docs of CGI::Cookie. Something like this would work: `use CGI::Cookie; # fetch existing cookies %cookies = CGI::Cookie->fetch(); print $cookies{'cookie_name'}->value;` [download] If you are already using CGI.pm, you should just use the cookie methods it provides (see the doc).

A cookie is a cookie, doesn't matter how it got written. If you ahev the authority to read it you can read it. CGI or CGI::Cookie modules will give the best explanation. jdtoronto	[reply]

As others have said, a cookie is a cookie whether set by Javascript or any other technology. You might mean "how do I get a perl/LWP virtual browser to store cookies set by Javascript?" -- is that the question? `($_='kkvvttuubbooppuuiiffssqqffssmmiibbddllffss') =~y~b-v~a-z~s; print` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
